  1. Got let go after 6 wks orientation

    danielle2000 replied to menoogdawb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got let go before I even was going to start orientation on the floor. The night supervisor accused me of being a no show stating she said I was to return to work at 7 am which was not true because...

  2. Can I Refuse an Assignment?

    danielle2000 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I feel yah

  3. Can I Refuse an Assignment?

    danielle2000 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    When it comes to my license I take it very seriously. I refused to do charge on my unit when my manager thought it was acceptable to staff me with just 2 nurses and one on-call with a mom threatening...

  4. Not cut out for NICU

    danielle2000 replied to nurseinFL2567's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Don't feel bad not everyone is feeling the NICU. In my humble beginnings I wanted to be a Labor & Delivery nurse, NOT!!! I was not feeling it and give mad homage to my fellow L&D nurses. You...

  5. Not sure where to start?

    danielle2000 replied to NightShiftNur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your counselor gave you good advice and it boils down to where you are. Starting your nursing career as a CNA is a great way of getting yourself exposed to how nurses work on the floor, and giving...

  6. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    danielle2000 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think you are just keeping it real. I am not going to lie and say nursing is all cherries and cream because it is not. I realize what areas I was not going to do, breaking my back. I went into the...

  7. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    danielle2000 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I find nurses who are B/C students are more than capable. Getting straight As means nothing when you lack common sense!!!!! I bet your friend is great in what she is

  8. disturbing observation at the Children's hospital...

    danielle2000 replied to NurseCard's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do not! Because what these new skinny nurses do not have is experience and critical thinking. Sure, they are forcing nurses that have been in this game for many years but a BSN doesn't compare. I...

  9. Nurses allowing infants to cry excessively with no attempts to soothe.

    danielle2000 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It is one thing if the nurse is busy with another baby but just blatantly letting them cry is mean. I work in a unit that has separate pods with one nurse on the other side with her babies. Most of...

  10. Nurses can eat properly if they manage their time

    danielle2000 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you have some real issues. Well I am overweight but I am not sitting here expecting anyone to feel sorry for me because as an adult I have to take care of me. But you are definitely...

  11. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    danielle2000 replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    I recall my dean in nursing stating that A/B students would not need to review for their NCLEX as their grades sufficed. I of course disagreed with her because I realize that the NCLEX is based common...

  12. Why Failing Med Students Don't Get Failing Grades ...

    danielle2000 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Flunking out to me means you have done nothing in the curriculum.

  13. Criminal Charge

    danielle2000 replied to newnurse1986's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This would be the first step of showing accountability. Nobody is perfect we all have some vices that may encroach in our profession but the sooner you deal with your issues the better you can be at...

  14. Which to follow: MD or Policy?

    danielle2000 replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Policy trumps what he/she wants. It is good practice to cover thyself and follow policy considering nurses are bunt of legalities and blamed for mishaps. If something were to go wrong you best...

  15. What is the most complex clinical procedure you had to do in your career?

    danielle2000 replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    Exchange transfusion it is very detailed and I am so glad we do not have to do these on a regular

  16. Will this affect my license.

    danielle2000 replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    Unless they reported you which I doubt, you are not licensed by that facility; getting fired is one thing you move on! Screw a reference you can get another

  17. Fired and Devastated

    danielle2000 replied to SweenyG's topic in General Nursing

    You are not any of those things your husband has labeled you as. You have done, which many are not doing; seeking an education to better ones self. Being fired from a job in acute care setting is not...

  18. Poor Nurse

    danielle2000 replied to lilhemc's topic in General Nursing

    Hilarious, I can definitely relate to some of those issues.

  19. Wear gloves during assessment?

    danielle2000 replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    I only wear gloves when I am going to assess an orifice of some kind or there is a lesion. I understand infection control is a major concern but human touch never goes out of style when it is...

  20. Why should we give you an opportunity?

    danielle2000 replied to kwfine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well the question gives the impression as if being a nurse is only for younger people. If this interviewer wanted to know about her life story then articulate it in such that her age would not be the...

  21. Application Essay

    danielle2000 replied to rbfrisk's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Critical thinking does not apply to just nursing. Our every day lives depends on some form of resolving problems. I agree with Obigdog26! Just tell your story and the juices will start to flow. When...

  22. (IN)Appropriate Dress

    danielle2000 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I would think at this level of nursing dressing appropriately would be common sense. A nice pair of slacks and a blouse with a lab coat is professional. Of course I would love to wear jeans, lol !!!...

  23. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    danielle2000 replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    Well two cars cannot occupy the same space at a given time; well religion neither, STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!! If they did not ask what your faith was about then do not assume everyone shares the same...

  24. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    danielle2000 replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    Shut it down!!!! I was working one day and had a book about Buddhism and she attempted to start hashing up Christianity and I simply told her, "Stay in your lane!" I walked away she never brought it...

  25. How to calculate for "how much remains after X-Hours?"

    danielle2000 replied to ChooSoul's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hate math
